My absolute fav dwarf shrimp - Indian zebra shrimp. They have a ton of variety, even in my colony. Some are more bluish, some more red, some have bright orange eyes.
Even though they’re a caridina species, they’re super easy to keep. They do great in the same water parameters as cherry shrimp. Super underrated shrimp
it is insane to me how every experienced fish person can be like "you need pest snails to properly maintain a planted tank" and you still get aesthetic weirdos who vomit cry and scream at the sight of 1 little hitchhiker
Finally got a fancy(tm) pic of my aquarium - think I figured out the solution to awful photos is just I have to do them at night because the hugeass window in my room directly adjacent ruins everything. Going to try and take a pic like this weekly to track growth!
Anyway it's looking close? Closeish? to being cycled so the question is: WHAT COLOUR SHRIMP
Hi fishblr, anyone interested in a watercolor portrait of their pet fish? Will come with gold detailing and be on a white background as pictured.
*Artwork size is 6x6” cold pressed water color paper
* Price is $30 plus shipping for a single fish. Add $10 for each additional fish. Will take payment via cashapp, venmo, or paypal. I require a 50% deposit to start!
*Timeframe to complete art is minimum 1 week.
*I will send you 1-2 sketches and you can make up to 3 revisions, if you’d like to make more revisions it will be $5 extra per each revision.
Genuinely so happy to report that adding sacrificial cull shrimp to the betta thunderdome for enrichment was massively successful. Her Highness is a lot more curious and active even outside of when she is hunting!
Now aside from the slow process of the plants growing in, my sole remaining goal is to eliminate the godforsaken green filamentous algae. The temptation to rip out, dry off, and replant all the plants like accidentally worked for the other tank is High.
I continue to love that a bundle of shrimp of multiple breeds or colors is called a skittle pack. You should in fact just love that a shrimp tank with a rainbow of shrimp is a skittle tank.
